Since Peter Barada sent out a note a month ago announcing the creation of
a compilers mailing list, he and I (the mailman) have been deluged with
requests to be on the list.  There are now 101 members, each of whom went
to the trouble to send a note asking to be on the list.  The people are all
over the place -- no site has more than 4 or 5 recipients, and some of the
recipients are actually redistribution lists so there are well over 100
people reading it.

This seems to me to be enough interest for a moderated news group.  Any
objections?  We selflessly volunteer to moderate.  I'm not going to send
out the "newgroup" message since, among other things, we run notes which
doesn't send them at all.

PS:  Feel free to argue about what the group should be called.  Makes no
difference to me.
